Excellence of design, 2. \1 ceting the church needs or adequac\T of the building with regard to siz-e and nee-ds of the congregation, 3. Skill in usc and selection of materials, 4. Economy in space and convenience of ! plan, 5. Adaptation to lot and orientation. "Christian Herald's motive in conduc-ting this conte!>t," Samuel D. Fuson director of the magazine's Bureau of Church Planning explains, "was to foster b e tter church architecture and to present in a concrete, dramatic way what is actually being done in church building throughout the country. \Ve thought this could best be accomvlished through completed buildings actually serving the needs of congregations and communities. vVe did not belie\·e visionary or imaginative plans could perform qui te this service. ~ality With Sconomy All Children Smile for Bernie Bernie's Special Three Beautiful 7xll Buff Etchings Regular Price $10 Customers rely on us for superior Dry Cleaning.
